What we like about Black+Decker FSMH13E10-GB

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver on floors
  • Heats up very quickly, usually ready to use in 25 to 30 seconds
  • Highly versatile due to the 10-in-1 design with a detachable handheld unit
  • Eco-friendly and chemical-free cleaning that sanitizes effectively
  • Floors dry rapidly within seconds after steaming
  • Reusable microfiber pads are easy to attach via Velcro and clean well

What we don't like about Black+Decker FSMH13E10-GB

  • The power cord is relatively short and often requires an extension lead
  • Overall build quality feels a bit plastic and not robustly sturdy
  • Lacks steam flow control options with only a basic on/off function
  • Does not stand upright on its own and requires disassembly or resting for storage
  • Water reservoir opening can be awkward to fill without a funnel
  • Can occasionally leak water or suffer reduced steam production if the handle is not held higher than the outlet during attachment use

Verdict

The Black+Decker FSMH13E10-GB is a versatile 1300W corded 10-in-1 steam mop and detachable handheld cleaner featuring a 380ml water tank and 180-degree swivel steering. Main pros include its rapid 30-second heat-up time, a 15-minute runtime per tank, chemical-free sanitization killing up to 99.9% of bacteria, and an extensive 10-piece accessory kit for multi-surface cleaning. However, notable cons include its short 4-meter power cord that often requires an extension lead, a relatively small tank capacity requiring frequent refills, and a lack of a low-water indicator light.
